Michigan in last year's dual meet
encounter, 16-11, although they
edged the Wolverines, 71,67, in the
conference tournament to cop the
Big Ten championship.
Michigan State possesses such
formidable weapons as ten re-
turning lettermen and three de-
fending Big Ten champions. But
one of the "biggest" men in the
Spar'--'s' lineup is only slightly
over five feet tall.
Big Ten Champ
Don Behm. Those seven letters
spell much more than just the
name of a 130-pound senior. They
spell "1965 Big Ten champ, third
in the nation." But more, they,
spell 5'3" of "all-round ability, ag-
gressiveness, and natural wres-
tling instincts."
These praises come from Grady
Peninger, State's wrestling coach,
who continues, "He's the greatest
college boy I've ever coached. Don
is a real champion. I'd compare
him with a machine. He never
quits. He just keeps fighting all
the time."
Behm is the kind of wrestler
who just never stops attacking.
He is a living example of "wres-
tling-a-go-go."
"I don't mind those long arms
and legs," Behm explains of his
taller opponent. "They give me
more of a target."
Unfortunately for Behm, he en-
countered another of the greatest
wrestlers in America last year
when he dropped the 123-point
match to Michigan's Bob Fehrs in
1966 dual meet action. "Thinking
that they must beat Fehrs to win
the meet," Keen pointed out,
"State demoted Behm to 123."
But Behm lost, so this year he

will return to 130 pounds "out of
respect for Fehrs."
Fehrs will therefore meet reg-
lrular 123-pounder Bary Bissell,
while Don Behm should share the
mat with Michigan's Geoff Hen-
son.
Three other Spartans are un-
defeated this season in dual meet
action-137-pound Dale Ander-
son, 145-pound Dale Carr. and,
167-pound George Radman. An-
derson and Radman have yet to
be felled even in tournament com-
petition this season.
All three are defending confer-
ence champions and Radman is
defending NCAA champion. 177-
pound Mike Bradley is another
1966 Michigan State conference
champion.while heavyweight Jeff
Richardson gained the honor in
1965. Richardson, however, ran
into a roadblock last year in the
form of Michigan's Dave Porter
in an attempt to repeat his title.
In the words of Porter, who
pinned his last opponent in 23
seconds, "We'll just go out there
and try to get it over with as soon
as possible."
Both teams have waited all sea-
son for the chance.
